Hotels near Cebu Technological University - Dumanjug Extension, Dumanjug

A lovely isolated venue to get away from it all and soak up the sounds of the sea. The studio rooms are good, although the beds could do with a headboard- a few times I woke up with the pillars on the floor behind the bed. The pool is small, but adequate and there are plenty of other spaces to chill out and bathe in solitude. The shoreline is very tidal and you don’t get to water above knee height until you get over 100 metres out, but, once you get to deep water there is a very impressive reef with lots of fish and even sharks- of the safe variety. The food is of a reasonable standard, but it’s a limited menu and after 3 days, I think I had covered everything I could possibly eat. I do recommend the shrimp curry. Breakfasts were very good. There is work to do in customer service here- although the staff are very cooperative and pleasant, there are not many smiles shown and they seem to be a bit stuck in their ways and timelines. Requesting to have dinner at 7.30pm seemed an issue, as they came knocking on our door at 7.20pm and the food was already out! Playing pool with another couple until 9pm seemed an irritation to them and a request to have breakfast at 7.30am instead of the usual 8am start fell on deaf ears as we sat there from 7.30am until 8am when breakfast was then served..,, no big deal, but this place could be amazing with some thought and planning on making the facilities and staff as well as the location fantastic too.

Our stay at the Wild Orchid was wonderful. We spent 2 nights and would have stayed an extra night if it wasn’t because we were on a tight schedule. We had our meals at the hotel and everything was delicious. We absolutely loved the vanilla ice cream shake and really enjoyed the chicken Schnitzel after diving. The hotel organized the diving for us. Cristina was our master dive and she was very patient and animated. Totally recommend her for first divers! We loved the sunsets from the hotel beach. View from the room was also stunning. Cristina helped us organized taxis and transfer to Panglao. Very family vibe!!

The hotel is strategically located, with the seaside and natural ecological environment. With the PADI Dive Center, you can book a variety of deep dive, snorkeling projects, and the coach is enthusiastic, the service is very thoughtful, for our sake, I feel so lucky to meet such a hotel. In terms of food and beverage, the hotel itself has a lot of food and drink supplies. Due to the tired diving every day, it is regrettable that we do not drink happy hour cocktails. Because on the beach, there is a short road that is very bumpy. If it can be repaired, it will be more perfect.

I stayed at Hale Manna for a couple of nights as a part of our friends' wedding after-party/trip. The grounds and scenery are breathtaking. The staff is very accommodating. They offer massages on the beach and in the rooms; my husband and I opted for in-room and we agreed the massages were terrific. The individual bungalows were cozy and charming. They only have one restaurant but the menu offered a wide variety of food, ranging from Filipino dishes to pasta to pizza. The ice cream freezer was well stocked with Magnum popsicles, Cornetto, and other goodies. The beach at low tide revealed dozens of tide pools where we found snails and hermit crabs. I had the pool all to myself on our last day, but even when there were other people in the pool it never felt crowded. This is seriously a slice of heaven on earth!

The hotel is suitable for a relaxing vacation! If you go diving, you can live directly in the dive shop. Generally, accommodation is provided. Although the place is relatively simple and remote, the overall environment is still very clean, and the locals are very friendly and kind!
